more exacting so the preparations to meet

thing in dry goods, not to mention the une.

article in any line not to be obtained there
And all these goods are marked down to the
lowest notch. This has made the great rep.
utation Of the house-a complete stock and
lowest cash prices, This never was so here
as it is to day, and we know no buyer can
afford to neglect an inspection of the stock.

A Million Feet or More.

To do d business Of any size
It's necessary to advertise, .
For how else would the people know
The benefits we would bestow?
How could they know that our big store
Spreads O err a million feet or more,
Unless we bring it before their eyes?
And this we do, by advertise
How would they know that we expose
Ladies', childs' and misses hose,
At prices away down, down,
Below any they will find in town
For our embroideres, that beat them all,
Many would not know to call
So of our laces, how could they tell
That not elsewhere could they do as we'll
Our corsets how unkind 'twould be,
Not to invite the ladies, seer
Embrace the form, with charm,
Gentle as lovers arm.
Our dress goods are so charming, nice,
The ladies all should see and price,
They'll so enjoy the lovely sight
Sweet dreams will follow in the night.

The Town Election.

The town meeting on Tuesday passed Off
quietly In Ottawa, although the contests for
the offices was animated enough to make the
day interesting TO ticket peddlers and work
ers. The fight against Reed for Supervisor
was a mean one In every respect-a campaign
OF hard "fbbing," in which the charges made
against him were false from beginning to
end. Nevertheless, he was beaten not by the
newspaper fight against him, nor by the nat
ural strength OF his opponent, though a pop
ular and very capable young man; but by the
systems of trading carried out through the
day to elect Mr.. Kerste for collector and Mr..
Thomas for commissioner. Between these
two fires he was defeated by 10 adverse ma
iority.
The special tax levy for road purposes was
defeated; first, because II was rather large;
second, because OF the carecssncss Of voters,
many Of whom voted on both sides Of the
question, or on neither side, both Of which
counted AS vote against; AMI third, because
